    Ok, now this is a trick picture played by the guy who is going for the “which of these suits is not like the other” vote, becuase it is the guy on hte right. Check out that charisma.

    Agreed, it’s the guy on the far right. What a guy.

    You would know that I would know that it’s the guy on the far right, so I can clearly not choose the glass in front of me!

    Wait, wrong entertainment genre.

    It’s the dude in the black. Anyone who dares to be different has leadership qualities. Go, dark sportcoat guy, go!

    If it’s a trick picture, I’m falling for it. But, I don’t think it’s a trick. We can’t overthink press photos. Gotta be the guy in the dark suit.

    I gotta go “Guy in Black Suit.” It’s so obvious I can’t even think of anything witty to say about it.

    Of course it’s the guy in the dark suit. And I’ve spent the last few years building up a resistance to iocaine powder!

    I’m going to have to go with Darth Vader–the rest are stormtroopers.
